After being picked up by the prince, Xiaojiaohua is wild and sassy

In the room, the old lady was wrapped in a quilt and leaning on a bed, with two square pillows behind her, and she still had a sick look on her face.

"Come here." The old lady beckoned feebly.

Ruhuahua walked over slowly, knelt on the footrest, her voice choked up, "Grandmother."

The old lady held her hand tightly, and was about to say something when her eyes glanced at the slit on her hand, her eyes suddenly slowed down, and her vicissitudes of hand gently caressed her broken fingertips, "Does it hurt? "

Ruhuahua shook her head, "Grandma, do you still feel uncomfortable?"

The old lady's voice was weak, as if her spirit was strong, "Grandmother is fine, the situation is unstable when the new emperor ascends the throne, and any disturbance will be infinitely magnified. At this time, you must not be impulsive and conflict with others."

"I understand, I won't do anything." Ruhuahua lowered her head and rested her forehead on the back of the old lady's palm, "I'm just not reconciled. The Hua family has been stationed at the pass for generations, but all they got in return was suspicion."

The old lady touched her head, "This is not something that my daughter's family is worried about. The Hua family should have retreated bravely at this point. Ah Chao also mentioned it to me. After this matter, I will hand over the military power to do it." idle job."

Ruhuahua's lips moved, but she didn't say anything for a while.

The doctor said that grandma can't be bothered anymore, she doesn't want to disturb others with her inner thoughts.

Sitting with the old lady for a while, fed her soup and medicine with her own hands, helped her to rest and tucked in the quilt, and waited for her to fall asleep, Ruhuahua walked out of the room lightly.

She didn't leave directly, but stood quietly for a while in front of the altar where the old lady often enshrines Guanyin.

The white marble Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the altar has a peaceful and benevolent face, standing on the lotus platform with a gentle and meaningful expression, and his eyes are smudged with gentleness and tolerance by the incense.

After a while, she knelt down on the futon, kowtowed silently, and said silently in her heart, "What I want to do may violate loyalty and integrity. If God punishes me, I will be alone."

Kneeling until the afternoon, she got up and was helped by the maid back to Qingyue Yuan, where she washed and went to bed.

The fluffy kitten huddled in the quilt and rubbed against her, arching along the side of her hand all the way to her shoulder socket, stepping on her protruding collarbone with its snow-white front paws, and resting its furry head against her chin, purring in satisfaction.

Ruhuahua turned her head to the side due to the fuzzy touch, raised her hand to rub the cat's head, muttered "Don't make trouble" in a low voice, and then spent the night almost with her eyes open.

She didn't sleep peacefully for a long time all night, watching helplessly that the lamp oil in the room was burned out, and the sky outside the window was dimly bright.

The next day, with bloodshot eyes, Ruhuahua washed her face with cold water, turned and went to the East Courtyard.

Probably because she was frightened by what happened yesterday, the imperial guards didn't stop her again, and let her go from the inner courtyard to the warehouse, and then to the east courtyard.

In Xu Ci's room, Ruhuahua closed the door behind her backhand.

The daylight came in through the window sill, and the room was a little hazy and dark. There were only the two of them, and it was too quiet.

Xu Ci wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Ru Huahua, "Sir, I have something to say."

Xu Ci was much taller than her, and looked at her with lowered eyes, engraving her slightly pale complexion full of exhaustion and haggardness into his eyes.

It hurts just to look at it.

"Is the old lady's condition not good?" Xu Ci asked.

Ruhuahua shook her head, "Grandmother is fine for now."

She took a deep breath, faced Xu Ci's puzzled gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, this is a 5000 tael bank note. After the household registration has been changed, the Nanfeng Pavilion has no right to hold on to the deed. You have redeemed your body contract, and you will be free from now on."

"My family taught me not to repay my kindness since I was a child, but today I want to have the audacity to repay my kindness."

As she said, she lowered her eyes, "I know that this statement is really unreasonable, and my husband can also refuse me."

"I said yesterday that if there is no courteous treatment from the princess, there would be no me. I want to help the princess not because I owe you a favor, but from the heart. The princess just orders." Xu Ci said.

Ruhuahua: "What if what I want to do is risking the displeasure of the world?"

Xu Ci looked at her, "If the princess dares to trust me, I will do it."

"Before my brother left the city, because of my promise, he would hand over his military power when he comes back next time." Ru Huahua took a deep look at Xu Ci, "but now that the knife is on the side of his neck, if my brother comes back this time to hand over his military power, I will I don't know what will happen to our Hua family."

Murder, frame, or slaughter?

She didn't say it out loud, but she had to think about the worst endings.

"Why would the princess think so?"

"Jiang Xingyun has repeatedly mentioned the defeat of the battle in front of me, and now he is besieging the female family members in the mansion," Ru Huahua raised her head and laughed mockingly, "My brother and sister are still fighting, so he didn't think about whether it would affect the The mentality of the people on the battlefield. And yesterday, I don’t believe that without his connivance, the guards would dare to delay in a situation where human life is at stake.”

Even if the military power is in hand, what if the military power is handed over?Will he be afraid of the Hua family's prestige and connections in the army?

Xu Ci looked at her, "What does the Princess want, and what does she want me to do?"

Ruhuahua lowered her eyes, and the baby's straight eyelashes drooped darkly, blocking the expression in the bottom of her eyes, and said coldly, "Do nothing."

Xu Ci frowned: "Princess?"

"The frontier battle has been fought for so long, and the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince are attacking from both sides. Jiang Xingyun's current throne is already unstable, and with the addition of many wars, even if he does nothing, Zhou Rao's current money, food and military strength will not be able to support him. of."

"Since the raging waves are falling, the building will fall, let it fall, let it fall, why bother to turn it around." When she said these words, her eyes were very calm, and she didn't seem to be talking about family affairs.

Hearing what Ru Huahua said, Xu Ci took a deep breath, and his face became serious.

"I can't leave Jiaping now, and my husband has met my brother, so I want to send a message to my brother from my husband."

Xu Ci waited for her next words.

She looked at Shang Xuci, and she said the eight simple words very clearly, "avoid their sharpness and watch from the sidelines."

She knew that the Hua family had the mission of generals for generations, and the younger brother would definitely not rebel, so she stayed out of the matter and let the capable people live in it.

To avoid long nights and dreams, Ruhua sent Xu Ci out of the mansion that day.

She seemed to be doing nothing, wandering back to her yard and not being a director.

In addition to going to accompany the old lady to eat and take medicine in the morning and afternoon, when I returned to my yard in the afternoon, I would hold grass and eat meat paste.

The little guy's two white front paws can step on the crooked rice bowl, and his head is stuck in it, and his head is covered with meat paste, but he still eats it with great enjoyment.

After the grass was full, Ru Huahua hugged it and wiped her face clean, and walked around the outer courtyard under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards, and the day was over.
